What is Cucumber?

Cucumber is a test automation framework based on Behavior Driven Development (BDD) to write acceptance tests for your web applications. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) technique is a part of Test-Driven Development (TDD) that uses human-readable language as user requirements for web tests. It allows automated functional testing in a simple, readable format like plain English.

Code coverage is a metric used in testing that allows testers to effectively measure the code level they've covered with their test suite. This helps them to access the quality of their test suite and analyze how comprehensively they've tested a piece of software.

The following are the benefits of the Cucumber framework:

• Supports different programming languages like Java, Ruby, etc.
• It requires no coding knowledge; you can involve non-coders as well.
• Serves as an end-to-end testing framework, unlike other frameworks.
